"It was embarrassing to watch that these are our two candidates," Kaepernick said after the first presidential debate. "Both are proven liars and it almost seems like they're trying to debate who's less racist.

"And at this point ... you have to pick the lesser of two evils. But in the end, it's still evil."

Kaepernick first took a knee during the national anthem in August to get people talking about racial issues in America.

He was eventually joined by teammate Eric Reid and the movement gained steam from there.
